Full Day Trip - Striped Bass (Max 4)2 adults

Captain Eric Nelson is a highly experienced fisherman and boat captain, with decades of experience. He’s friendly, amiable, proactive, and and excellent/responsive communicator. He went out of his way to ensure that my 15-y.o. son had the salt-water adventure of a lifetime. He used sonar to locate (mackerel?), and even when other boats (with whom he was in radio contact) did not catch _any_fish (Mem Day Weekend, 2024, one week earlier than usual), Eric was all ove lr it. My son returned with macs, flounder, and they even caught striper (though striper went back in the water). Captain Nelson has decades of experience in commercial fishing. A true professional, and a great guy’

    Great Fishing Trip!

    Half Day Trip - Striped Bass (max-42 adults

    I only have good things to say. Captain Eric met us at the harbor. He called us the day before to go over all the details. He was extremely curteous when we met and his boat was clean. Everything we needed for the excursion was provided. He took us all over the bay chasing the schools of fish. We had an excellent time and he made sure we all got some great catches. When we got back he prepared our catches for us to take home. We would be happy to use his charter again.

    Fantastic!!!!

    Full Day Trip - Striped Bass (Max 4)2 adults

    Captain Eric was terrific. We had a great time and caught plenty of fish. We hit our limit and bought home dinner. As an added bonus we pulled up next to a lobster boat out in the ocean and got 2 fresh lobsters. Highly recommended and will definitely go out again with Eric when we visit again Thanks Captain Eric and be well Liz and Seth

    Eric is awesome!

    Half Day Trip - Striped Bass (max-41 adult

    Eric is a fabulous captain and guide. He is very dedicated to finding hot spots and he knows the local waters very well. The day was slow for many of the the charters the day we were out but we still caught strippers and a bluefish. He did a great job teaching me how to use a pencil popper, which is a fun and engaging way to catch fish in the top water and way more fun than trolling. Eric has great stories of fishing lore in the area. Ask him about the lobster diver and the whale. Eric is a must book guide. You will really enjoy yourself!
